[Alsa-user] Resampling tips&tricks

[Ronaldinho <fmc...@gm...>]

Hello dear all!
There are 2 sound cards on my PC: hda_intel (ALC888 from Realtek) and 
SBLive 5.1

1. I could that ALSA make software resampling (44.1 to 48 kHz) when 
sound playing through SBLive and do not resampling if using hda_intel. 
How asoundrc must be configured in this case?
I've fund some different examples - what's the best choice?
1.1.
pcm.HQ {
type rate
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
rate 48000
}
converter "samplerate_best"
}
1.2.
defaults.pcm.rate_converter "samplerate_best"

2. In my OS (Kubuntu 10.04) installed not latest version of ALSA libs. 
How I can know exactly which version of ALSA using. I mean are there any 
incompatibilities between for instance 1.0.23 ver of ALSA and 1.0.24 of 
alsa-lib, alsa-plugins (I have choose right version of alsa-lib, 
alsa-plugins and install them).

3. Is it possible to use OSS and ALSA both? I could that hda_intel uses 
ALSA, SBLive -­ OSS. How exactly?

Thank you in advance
